FLOWER OF THE WATER SOLDIER


FLOWER OF THE WATER SOLDIER

We have had water soldiers in our pond for about 4 years, and never knew that they flowered, but this year we noticed this flower. It only lasted about 2 days but was worth seeing. Has anyone had one on their plant before?

Yes it was 6d, Ive often read articles on them , but cant remember it ever mentioning that they flowered , but it was well worth seeing. The markings it had in the centre were quite pretty. its a shame it never lasted longer. pleased you like it 6d.
